ABSTRACTThe mechanical behavior of RuAl-base intermetallic alloys with alloying additions of boron, niobium and platinum has been investigated. Compression tests have been performed at room temperature and 973 K. While the addition of alloying elements results in solid solution strengthening, the strain-rate sensitivity and the activation volumes do not show a significant variation, thereby suggesting that the macroscopic flow mechanisms are not strongly affected. Deformation substructure analysis of the niobium-containing alloy shows the presence of <100> and <110> dislocations, while the platinum-containing alloy additionally contains a significant density of <111> dislocations.

Ultrafine-grained (UFG) commercially pure (CP) Ti with a grain size of about 200 nm was produced by ECAP up to 8 passes using route BC at room temperature. For ECAP processing a proper die set was designed and constructed with an internal channel angle Φ of 120° and an outer arc of curvature Ψ of 20°. Strain rate sensitivity of UFG CP-Ti and CG CP-Ti were investigated by compression tests in the temperature range of 298~673K and strain rate range of 10-4~100s-1 using Gleeble simulator machine. Evolution of the microstructure during compression testing was observed using optical microscopy (OM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Strain rate sensitivity value m of the UFG CP-Ti has been measured and is found to increase with increasing temperature and decreasing strain rate, and is enhanced compared to that of CG CP-Ti. Result of the deformation activation energy determination of UFG CP-Ti indicates that the deformation mechanism in UFG CP-Ti is correlated to the grain boundaries.

The microstructure and fracture surfaces were investigated for five Fe3Al – based iron aluminides doped by different alloying elements (Nb, Zr + C, Cr) or without addition. Generally, iron aluminides are considered as brittle material at room temperature, therefore the type and distribution of secondary phases affect the fracture behaviour. The influence of present secondary phase particles on impact toughness at room temperature was evaluated in comparison to binary alloy. The type and the volume fraction of particles affect the value of impact toughness significantly – these values decrease with increasing volume fraction of precipitates. On the other hand, the solid solution strengthening improves impact toughness.

ABSTRACTSingle crystals of stoichiometric NiAl and NiAl+V alloys were tested in compression and tension from room temperature to 871°C to determine deformation behavior. The dislocations were predominately <100> in the plastically deformed specimens. Attempts to ductilize NiAl by the addition of vanadium are described. The lowering of the anti-phase boundary energy by vanadium addition to NiAl, believed to promote the formation of <111> dislocations, was predicted by the all electron self consistent total electron band structure calculations. The vanadium additions caused considerable solid solution strengthening in NiAl, rendering the ternary alloys more brittle than stoichiometric NiAl.

ABSTRACTThe temperature dependence of the flow stress in the B-doped DS Ni3Al containing Si as well as transition metal elements was systematically investigated by tensile tests. The effects of the alloy elements on the magnitude of the positive temperature dependence of the flow stress were evaluated. The calculated activation energy which results in the anomalous mechanical behavior the Ni3Al decreases for each element addition. The flow stress near liquid nitrogen temperature, taken as a measure of the degree of solid solution strengthening, increases linearly with the element concentration. The influences of the element additions on the solid solution strengthening were discussed. Also discussed were the mechanisms of the anomalous mechanical behavior in the Ni3 Al affected by the element additions.

ABSTRACTIn this work, the recent breakthroughs in the understanding of the fracture behavior and fracture toughness of L12-ordered titanium trialuminides are described and discussed. First, it is shown that, as opposed to many other intermetallics and specifically those with an L12 crystal structure, the fracture toughness of L12 titanium trialuminides is insensitive to testing in various environments such as air, water, argon, oxygen and vacuum (∼1.3×10–5 Pa). Second, it is reported here that by increasing the concentration of Ti combined with boron (B) doping, the room temperature fracture toughness of a Mn-stabilized titanium trialuminide can be improved by 100% from ∼4 MPam1/2 to ∼8 MPam1/2 and by 150–250% at 1000°C to ∼(10–12) MPam1/2 with a simultaneous suppression of intergranular fracture (IGF) to ∼(40–50%). Almost three fold increase in yield strength to ∼550 MPa is attained at room temperature for high Ti, boron-doped trialuminides. Both Vickers microhardness and strength increase linearly with increasing concentration of (Ti+B) indicating a classical solid solution strengthening response.

In this study, the inelastic deformation behavior of Veriflex-E, a thermally-triggered shape memory polymer resin, was investigated. The experimental program was designed to explore the influence of strain rate on monotonic loading at various temperatures. In addition, the creep behavior of specimens at various temperatures was evaluated. The time-dependent mechanical behavior of the Veriflex-E resin is strongly influenced by the temperature as well as the deformation rate. Thermally-actuated shape memory polymers can be thought of as having two phases separated by the glass transition temperature (Tg). At temperatures well below the Tg (room temperature), the Veriflex-E exhibits a high elastic modulus and positive, nonlinear strain rate sensitivity in monotonic loading. Likewise, the room temperature creep response is significantly influenced by the prior strain rate. The Poisson’s ratio at room temperature is independent of the strain rate, but dependent upon the strain magnitude. As the temperature is increased, the strain rate sensitivity in monotonic loading decreases. Well above the Tg, the elastic modulus drops by several orders of magnitude, and strong strain rate sensitivity is no longer observed in the path of the stress-strain curve. In this high temperature region, the material achieves strain levels well above 100% and the Poisson’s ratio is constant at 0.5 regardless of strain rate or strain magnitude. The creep strain, on the other hand, is significantly influenced by the prior strain rate at the elevated temperature. A slight hysteresis is observed during unloading, while recovery following unloading shows a permanent strain.

ABSTRACTThe effect of W addition on microstructure and mechanical properties of Ni3Al (L12) and Ni3V (D022) two-phase intermetallic alloys has been investigated. W was added to the base alloy composition, Ni75Al10V12Nb3 (at. %) in place of either Ni, Al or V. The W-added alloy ingots were heat-treated in vacuum at 1575 K for 5 h. The majority of W-added alloys showed a dual two-phase microstructures while the alloy in which 3 at. % W substituted for Ni exhibited the dual two-phase microstructure containing W solid solution dispersions. Vickers hardness was significantly enhanced by W addition, which is primarily due to solid-solution strengthening.

A temperature dependence of the tensile mechanical properties, microstructure and fracture mechanism of high-nitrogen Fe-(19-23)Cr-(17-21)Mn-(0-3)V-(0.1-0.3)C-(0.5-0.9)N vanadium-free and vanadium-containing steels was investigated. For all steels, the 0.2% offset yield strength and strain-hardening drastically increase with a decrease in test temperature. This is associated with high interstitial solid solution strengthening of the steels and more pronounced twinning and stacking-fault formation during straining below room temperature. For the vanadium-free steel, a ductile-to-brittle transition was evaluated: at 77K specimens destroy by cleavage mechanism while at room temperature steels show ductile fracture. Vanadium-alloying provides a particle strengthening of the steels and, at the same time, reduce solid-solution strengthening. Increase of vanadium concentration fully or partially suppress brittle fracture of the steels at 77K. Particle strengthening changes interstitial solid-solution effect, dislocation arrangement and slip/twinning relation in vanadium-containing high-nitrogen steels compared to vanadium-free one.
